Brewed up my first NEIPA and it's... underwhelming. It lacks flavor and lacks aroma. Nothing tastes off, it just tastes like a light session ipa and I want something that's super juicy and strong tasting. Where did I go wrong? It's been on cryo hops in the keg for 3 days now. Fermented in a keg and transferred to serving keg under CO2 so zero oxygen exposure.
The recipe is below, and my targets got close to expected. For the actual beer I brewed I hit 1.075 OG and 1.016 FG and 64% brew house efficiency.
